RBMA Sessions: Mumdance

Host Aaron Gonsher speaks Mumdance about his practice and music, during a public session at Red Bull Studios Berlin.

Since reinventing his sound following his Mad Decent debut, prolific Londoner Mumdance (a.k.a Jack Adams) has become one of the biggest names in the world of grime. Adams' career blew up unexpectedly in 2008 after he sent Diplo a grimy remix of the Black Lips' "Veni Vedi Vici." Diplo swiftly signed him to his Mad Decent label and set him up with other high-profile remix projects for Santigold and Gucci Mane. In 2014, he and fellow grime deconstructionist Logos launched the Different Circles label and podcast, helping to coin the "weightless grime" sub-genre. Following previous joint releases on Keysound and Tectonic, their collaborative LP, Proto, dropped in 2015. Having performed last year at the CTM 2015 Closing Concert as The Sprawl (with Shapednoise and Logos), Mumdance returns to perform on CTM’s grime-infused main floor at YAAM on Saturday 6.2.
